technically is under shah alam, but go there la, everyone (almost) there from klang one.

Not true. Since Setia Alam under Shah Alam then all who lived there will be Shah Alamites. Your logic failed sir.

Besides proportion of house buyer for Setia Alam now comes from PJ/Subang etc because the houses there are becoming more expensive. Not to mention Setia EcoPark where you cannot find houses < RM 1m anymore

I know that Setia Alam are under MBSA. But you think klang people no money one??? setia ecopare >1m so what??? how do you know proportion of house buyer from PJ/ Subang?? Any sales figure?? You logic big failure.

Yes. Sales Assistants at Setia Alam Welcome Centre said for new launches > 60% is from outside Klang.

The sales does mean the tenant who stay there. Did you know who are they who stay there? Did you see a lot of houese there put up for sale???That was what Sales Assistants at Setia Alam Welcome Centre "claim", but that is not a solid evidence to draw a conclusion without posting the exact and reliable sales figure. The sales assistants was just doing thier job to attract more buyers.What you say about klang people???

this place is more klang than shah alam lah. I see with my own eyes it gets turned from palm oil estate to become what it is today.

Used to be klang, in fact. They re-draw the boundary, build a township and call it Setia Alam and voila! assessment rate all become Bandaraya rate (as opposed to MPK rate). More income for the State government. Milking the rakyat. Satu lagi projek kerajaan Barisan Nacional.

Have you guys ever ventured to the place located between RRIM, Sg Buloh and north kampung subang? Yea, that is a farking ulu place. But surprise surprise, it is governed by MPSJ when this place feels more like kuala selangor / sg buloh. Apa lagi? Higher cukai pintu and cukai tanah la.

hopefully soon. I'd love to have such shortcut too. But on the other hand, I'm sure SP Setia ain't gonna allow these other developments to ride on their investments. Not So soon. (they lobbied and spent to build the highway access, you know... As their own selling point. Not for other's selling point) Setia Alam is known as section u13, but it was not even linked to section u12 despite being located right next to it. The only access into section u12 is via a tunnel under the highway that links to section 7. Lol.

anyway there's a small trail that bicycles and kapchais can use to go to bkt bandaraya from tenby.

Yes it will be abit closer to Shah Alam provided somewan link the road from Tmn Pertanian ..So far not yet

Gotta agree SP Setia won't allow these access roads... or else how to recoup their investment on the highway and probably due to other 'exclusivity' reasons. yup U13>U12>section 7/8 is so near, yet so far

Actually, I bought a house in Bukit Bandaraya, which is right next to Setia Eco Park. According to Bukit Bandaraya's developer, SP Setia has requested a few times for the road from Eco Park to be connected but the Bukit Bandaraya developer does not want to allow this connection since Bukit Bandaraya is a medium/low-density and purely residential development with its main draw being that its quite, clean and calm area next door to a forest reserve, a few lakes and parks.

I am also quite sure that most residents (who are also homeowners) in Bukit Bandaraya don't really want the extra traffic from Setia Alam passing through their road-network just to get a connection to a shopping mall either.

probably it is that way, for now.

but contrary to your opinion that the traffic comes from Setia Alam if there is an access link to Bkt Bandaraya, i disagreed. instead, i dare say that it is the contrary, where by residents of Section 2, 7, 8, 11 areas will pass through Bkt Bandaraya to get to Setia Alam toll to enter NKVE, as an alternative to Federal Highway in their commute to KL/PJ/North/South.

most probably, i think in 5-10 years down the road, some party will lobby for an access road connecting these townships. Especially when the developer hands over the township to MBSA. Just imagine the convenience of closer access to a highway exit. Bukit Bandaraya & section U12, although located right next to a highway, currently have no access to the said highway and can only use Federal or take a round trip to Bukit Raja to enter the highway, which is highly impractical and fuel wasting.

**CAVEAT** I'm not saying i agree or am a proponent of the link roads, but i am just a neutral observer who happens to live nearby and travel these areas everyday

Yup, suichai, I totally agree with your point of view actually. Especially once the developer hands BBSA over to MBSA.

But I am just crossing my fingers and hope that this won't happen since by then Eco Park residents wouldnt want to create more traffic into their neighbourhood (especially since Eco Park is strata property).

Anyway, this Setia Alam thing really a gimmick devekopment using "Shah Alam" as a marketing tool when the location of Setia Alam is coser to Meru / Klang Sentral rather than Shah Alam haha.

Lotsa ppl buying thinking it's in Shah Alam and closer to KL but actual fact just ~ Meru neighbourhood.. Those from Shah Alam esp town ctr at Wisma PKNS wanna go to the mall have to pay double toll sumore by using Fed Highway Bkt Raja >Setia Alam haha...

Anyway, It will benefit North Klang residents more than Shah Alam for sure.. Those saying benefitting Shah Alam folks really kena the "Marketing" gimmick liao

anything bro... gimmick or what, value of the house tell you if you are the one who being fools there..

a house that appreciate almost 100k a year consider a good buy there, do we need to care about meru or shah alam anymore?my new house less than 2km from the mall, you do the maths how much it will appreciate in 10 years...

eco park is GnG, traffic wont spill into their taman. I believe a separate road will be built to connect towards alam nusantara main road instead of sharing roads with eco park.

But cost-wise i think it's cheaper (but not smart) to build a link road that connects to the road behind tenby school.

Congrats peter, it's a nice area because it's right next to the forest reserve. I'm sure the majority of homeowners there know what they are buying into. I know I wouldn't want that extra huge traffic going through my taman just imagine setia alam/klang/shah alam people using that road it's going to be congested.

I wouldn't be so sure. This is the closest cinema to UiTM Shah Alam other than Bukit Raja which sucks ass. Using NKVE it will take 15 mins to get to Setia Alam

UiTM Shah Alam has 40k students. Students love cinema and happening mall. You do the math.

Huh?? The closest cinema to UITM is not Setia Mall alh..It's actually in Subang Parade which is 14 km away or Sunway Pyramid which is 16km away only from UITM shah Alam + only 1 toll or even toll free via Glenmarie.. Setiam Mall from UITM shah Alam is ~ 18km away + 2 tolls.. Federal Highway + NKVE Bkt Raja.. You do your math again

Good for you but actually, all houses in KV also appreciated more than that for the past 1-2 yrs.. My house in Puchong inflated by almost 2.5X liao since 2 yrs ago
